& quot; Lag Ja Gale & # 39; Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 is modern, but is it as good as the original?

Bollywood's new favorite trend (with sports biographies and major-player transformations) seems to be taking old clbadic songs and rearranging them for new films. Usually the results are rather random, although most of them eventually become quite popular in both cases (provided you see a lot of noses spilled by the adults in the family). To follow this trend, Saregama Music released Monday the much anticipated cover "Lag Ja Gale" of Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 . This rendition of the song is by Jonita Gandhi of Fame 'The Breakup Song'. from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil . The original was sung by Lata Mangeshkar, of 1964 Woh Kaun Thi with Manoj Kumar, Sadhana, Helen and Prem Chopra

& quot; Lag Ja Gale & # 39; seems to be a favorite for most singing artists or filmmakers, but, in reality, it's a pretty hard song to croon. That's why Jonita Gandhi deserves some crazy accessories to get into the legendary shoes of singer Lata Mangeshkar and create a good modern version of the song. Now "modern" is a key word here, because the song now sounds instantly current. For a remix, it's a good thing, even if we are not sure of the number of points that give the song the fidelity to the original. Yet Jonita's voice is the highlight of the song, and hopefully, people forget the rustic character of The Breakup Song.

Now, the only thing that holds the most attention of the music is the "feel". The original interpretation was immediately felt iconic and beautiful, and gave the kind of atmosphere that the one who sang (in their heart, of course) was somewhere on a lonely island, lost in wishful thinking. The newer feels more like that same person making wishful thinking, but rather walking down a crowded street. It may not make much sense to the less visually inclined, but what it essentially means is that the new version loses the sense of intimacy that the original a, and more like someone who sings it in remembrance

. numbers in the clear difference in the instrumentation, with the redesign using more strings compared to the original, and the different key. It sounds more 'atmospheric', a word most critics use to look smart, but who really does not mean much. Here it means deep but empty, that when you hear it, you can basically imagine the room filled with smoke and a beautiful woman with a flying dupatta, which sounds powerfully similar to the video of the song.

Speaking of The video of the song is quite simple. It presents scenes interspersed with Gandhi with the main ladies of the film, Mahie Gill and Chitrangda Singh. All three take turns at the microphone, although Gandhi is the only one who actually sings. The video is very similar to what you expect from the characters of the two actresses of the film, lively, beautiful but worked with complex emotions. It's very … very atmospheric, for lack of a better word.

Overall, it's a good song. It loses however some of the feeling that the original has given us, which is why it's not necessarily good coverage. But, hey, to everyone his, no?
